So much of my liking a book depends on my schedule.

I can read the most amazing book but if I got an important project I need to deliver there is no way I will like a book if I can read 1-2 chapters per week only.

Back in my days...

Just joking, it's way before my days but it's pretty cool ❤️

Going for a run after sitting through the whole winter is such a pain 😰

All those companies that claim they will replace software engineers with AI are up for a nice surprise 😅

Just noticed @datadoghq is hiring Staff Engs in Germany. This is new, right?

I havent seen engineering job offers from DD in Germany before 🤔

I do not use Copilot or other Gen AI for writing code in my side projects if the purpose of them is learning.

I will chat with ChatGPT but I need to write the code. Otherwise I do not feel like learning.

I recently started to read some Go code which uses break instruction with labels to jump to a specific place in code.

Thank god this is used mostly for getting outside of a loop but wow how unnatural for my brain this is.

Pokemon Pocket is a great simulation of what it means to collect real Pokemon cards.

As of today there are 294 unique cards to collect plus around 30 promos and maybe 50 illustration rares. I have over 2100 cards and I'm still missing so many.

What annoys me is that all the tutorials regarding implementing database of any sort on Github are either in Python or in Go.

What a beautiful Saturday to get paged for incident ❤️
